What is USD

USD is the currency code for the United States dollar - US$. It is usually represented with the $ symbol. 1 US dollar is subdivided into 10 dimes, 100 cents or 1000 mills.

Americans find that the US cent is an utterly useless currency unit in all instances save for dropping it from the top of the Empire State Building.

USD is the the worlds largest reserve currency and the most traded currency in world's FX markets. The USA dollar is the second largest currency in circulation after the euro.

The American dollar is official currency in 14 countries and the unofficial or de facto currency in 37 others. USD is also the currency for two overseas territories of the United Kingdom: Turks and Caicos Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. In bucks we trust.
